The platform used by the controller to send emails enables, through tracking systems, the detection of information such as the opening of a message, the clicks made on hypertext connections contained in the email, from which IP address or with which type of browser the email is opened, and other similar details.
WHAT ARE THE PURPOSES AND LEGAL BASES OF THE PROCESSING?
The personal data provided by the user through the specific form is used for marketing purposes (i.e. to send advertising or direct sale material or to undertake market research or commercial communication of the business and services offered by the controller through traditional means, such as phone contact with an operator, as well as automatic means, such as email, SMS and other types of message, also through DM on social networks to which the user's account refers in the case indicated).

Any agreement given for marketing purposes on the basis of art. 130, paragraphs 1 and 2, of Leg. Decree 196/2003 (Privacy Code), implies the receipt of promotional and commercial communications and materials, not only through automated means of contact, but also through traditional means, such as postal deliveries or operator calls.
The data acquired through the tracking system of the platform used to handle email can be processed automatically to assess the preferences and habits of the data subject (profiling) and, on the basis of this data, plan the sending of promotional communications and notices.
The legal basis of such processing is the agreement which can be withdrawn at any time.
Should it be necessary, the data can also be used given a legitimate interest of the controller, which involves verifying the security and correct functioning of the IT systems used and carrying out defensive initiatives.
HOW IS THE DATA MANAGED?
The data collected is processed with IT instruments and only residually with print-based methods. Adequate security measures are adopted to prevent the loss of data, illegal or incorrect use and unauthorized access.
Transferring data abroad
The data will be transferred outside the European Union and the European Economic Space by the supplier of the services used by the Controller to store the data and for email services. Data will be transferred to non-EU countries, in the absence of adequacy decisions by the European Commission, but the transfer will be supported by adequate safeguarding measures; in particular for the storage, standard contractual clauses will be used backed by contractual supplementary measures; to manage marketing campaigns, standard contractual clauses will be used as approved on June 4, 2021 by the European Commission, and, if necessary, the supplementary measures implemented by the supplier to guarantee compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation, also in the case of the transfer of personal data outside of the EU.
Conservation times
The data is kept until any request by the user to oppose its use and in any case for no more than two years from when agreement to the processing is given. The data used for profiling is kept for a year.
This is done without prejudice to any defensive needs for which the data can be kept also beyond the indicated deadlines.

Transfer of the data is optional. Without this, it will not be possible to use the data for the marketing and profiling purposes described. It is noted that the user can decide to transfer the data only for purposes connected to sending the request through the form, without authorizing the processing of the data for marketing and profiling purposes.
